Interdisciplinary Studies (with Certification)

IDS with certification is an EC-6 teaching program resulting in certification for early childhood through sixth grade. A student following this course of study will take the general education core, the Interdisciplinary Studies major, specialization coursework for a minor in reading, the special education course sequence, and the professional development sequence. Students completing the IDS major may elect to add a specified additional course to earn the special education minor.  Upon successful completion of both the program and applicable TExES examinations, the student will be eligible to apply for state certification to teach self-contained EC-sixth grade classes.
